    this is off topic, id put it in the "coffee lounge" or "general forums" but cant seem to find those, so ill go with the next best thing- Hardware :-D
    so here it is.

    I know I like computers, I like building them (ive built a few now) I like to install things like operating systems.

    you know those firework shows at Disney world? my dream job would be something that would likely be able to get me working on Disney fire work shows, or setting up the technical effects effects and stuff for concerts, plays, etc I know that these things have something to do with computers programing timers, when the firework goes off, etc..

    Im looking at a technical degree/cert to get me in on the base level. so what would be best do yall think? Ive tried contacting folk who would be in that career but its been several months with no response..

    (take a breather here :p)

    and then, if my dreams come shattering down before me and im stuck looking at a "typical" baseline company position what would be good for that?

    these are all my options. Higher education well probably take place later on down the road, once im on my own completely, etc.

    Don't put off higher education any longer than is necessary, next thing you know you will be wanting to retire and wondering what happened...sure you can pick up most knowledge on your own if you have the desire, but there is a lot of stock put in that piece of paper you get when you graduate. Pyrotechnics eh? :cool

    im confused as usual... why are you taking networking and database programming classes if you want to pursue pyrotechnics?

    Maybe he wants to learn to programs the fireworks to go up Mickeys........... well you know. I think most pyro technic displayed are all done on a PC, perhaps you want to consider one of these options.

    Just take the college money go to the Quikie Mart buy a tonna of fireowrks, and what nots and practice.

    Or in a distant second, research what type requirements you would need to to shoot fireworks at kids at DiesneyWorld.
